Yeah, that’s a common snag with the Bolt and 4TB drives. The “media regions” error usually means the MFSR tool doesn’t like how the Bolt initialized the drive the first time. Most people skip letting the Bolt build it first—just run MFSR on a fresh, blank drive, then drop it into the TiVo so it uses the full space without conflicts.

MFSR will NOT work on a "fresh, blank drive". It checks for the unique signature of a drive that has already been formatted by a TiVo before continuing.

I don't know why the OP got that error on a 4 TB drive. MFSR was designed for drives from 3-8 TB, so my best guess is that @zukdj hooked it up with an old drive dock that only supports drives up to 2 TB.
